- Use Cases of QTrobot in Human-Robot Interaction and Social Robotics Research
Abstract: This project proposes the development and validation of an early-stage intervention, delivered by the expressive QTrobot, as a novel digital therapeutic for at-home therapy of children with autism. To […]
Abstract: The development of humanoid robotics for sensitive environments, such as medical or pediatric settings, requires careful handling of sensitive information that should remain within those environments. This work package […]
Abstract: The research and development of socially interactive robots is a complex challenge due to the diverse range of capabilities required for effective human-robot interactions (HRI). While state-of-the-art methods and […]
Abstract: Socially assistive robots (SARs) have shown promise as therapy tools for children with primary or co-occurring language impairments, such as developmental language disorder and autism spectrum disorder. However, only […]
Abstract: In traditional robot-assisted therapy sessions, robots often require direct control by therapists through methods like the Wizard-of-Oz protocol, which complicates sessions by preventing therapists from fully engaging with the […]
Abstract: In therapeutic scenarios, robots are often used for imitation activities where the robot demonstrates a motion that the individual under therapy needs to repeat. To enable the incorporation of […]
Abstract: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are characterized by impairments in communication. Socially assistive robots have been identified as a promising tool to alleviate the burdens associated with these disorders. Given the […]
Abstract: Robots used in therapeutic scenarios, such as therapy for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), often engage in imitation learning activities where a person mimics the robot’s motions. To […]
Abstract: Group meditation is known to keep people motivated and committed over longer periods of time compared to individual practice. Robotic coaching offers a promising approach to engaging people in […]
Abstract: The number of people attending virtual meetings has increased as a result of COVID-19. In this paper, the researchers present a system featuring an expressive humanoid social robot called […]
Abstract: This paper presents a study exploring the feasibility and efficacy of using the socially assistive QTrobot during a group-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) protocol aimed at teaching emotional skills […]
Abstract: Previous research suggests that older adults’ sense of meaning and happiness can be enhanced through self-reflection exercises. Building on this, we designed four self-reflection modules delivered by the QTrobot. […]
Abstract: This paper presents the design of a Wizard of Oz interface along with a library of robot behaviors specifically developed to aid caregivers in teaching handwriting to children with […]
Abstract: Delays in language development in early childhood are often the first signs prompting parents to seek autism diagnostics. While expressive language is easily observed, assessing receptive language development is […]
Abstract: Research in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) has gained significant momentum in recent years, particularly in developing robot-based intervention systems to assist children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These studies have […]
Abstract: Social robots are being studied for a variety of user populations, such as older adults, but programming these robots typically requires deep technical knowledge. In this study, the researchers […]
Abstract: According to the Theory of Natural Pedagogy, object-directed emotion provides different information based on context: in a communicative context, it conveys culturally shared knowledge about the emotional valence of […]
Abstract: During robot-assisted therapy, therapists often need to partially or fully control the robot, such as through a Wizard-of-Oz protocol. This can make therapeutic sessions tedious, as therapists cannot fully […]
Abstract: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) significantly impacts the academic, social, mental, and psychological well-being of young adults. Despite the availability of therapies and medications, there is a lack of direct […]
Abstract: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) are a group of conditions impacting children’s neurodevelopment, affecting their personal, social, and educational functioning. Social robots have shown promising results in the rehabilitation of children […]
Abstract: Technological advancements in unobtrusive wearable physiological sensors have opened new avenues for adaptive human-robot interaction (HRI). Detecting complex human states like engagement and stress during interactions with social agents […]
Abstract: The integration of robotics and programming is crucial in children’s technological education. Since 2016, Finnish elementary schools have included programming in their curriculum, providing students with opportunities to develop […]
Abstract: Music Therapy (MT) serves as a non-medical approach to bolster or preserve cognitive functions, leveraging music’s capacity to engage various brain functions simultaneously. In this study, we introduce an […]
Project Description: This project represents a collaborative effort spanning dentistry, robotics, and cybersecurity. Socially-assistive robots have already shown promising outcomes in fields such as dementia and autism, aiding patients with […]
Abstract: The integration of robotics into elderly care represents a dynamic research field, driven by the growing demand for home-based healthcare services. The study delves into robotic technology’s role in […]
Abstract: Robots have the potential to enhance the well-being of older adults by facilitating meaningful conversations that encourage reflection on and support various aspects of their wellness. We developed a […]
Abstract: Learning is often more challenging for students with learning disabilities, who typically require supplementary support such as one-on-one instruction to address academic skill gaps. In this research, the researchers […]
Abstract: Educational methods are evolving quickly, introducing innovative approaches to language teaching, such as robot-assisted language learning and the gamification of educational content. There’s a substantial amount of research on […]
